Shabby Chic Mini Calendar by Michelle

Need a great idea for using SRM's Mini Calendars to make a gift? Sit back, relax and enjoy this idea from Michelle Giraurd. When Michelle was making this project and she was stumped on what to do for the next step ...each time an SRM product was the perfect fit for what she needed.Michelle began by gluing the 4" round doilies together on each side of a clear rectangular box to form a square. She trimmed off the top flaps of the clear box so it was open at the top, which made it the perfect pen & pencil holder.

Michelle decided to go with girly colors because of the lace doilies so she added pink pencils from "XOXO". The front of box was a perfect place for the Mini Decorative Calendar, which was adhered to white cardstock squares.

Michelle adhered all the months to white cardstock squares. The extra calendar months are hidden inside the pen holder tied with twine, while the current month is clipped to the front with a tiny clothespin decorated with solid pink twine.

What a darling idea! Here are the products that Michelle used to create it:
